Gold and Grey Dresser Makeover by from The Blissful Bee {guest post}

Hey guys! My name is Amy and I blog over at The Blissful Bee. I am one of the new contributors totwelveOeight and SO happy to be here to show you one of my recent furniture makeovers.

A few months ago, I repainted my bedside dresser drawers, found here. I thought the makeover was complete until I noticed something was a little off with the paint job. My sweet hubby will sometimesleave the dresser drawers open and it eventually made me notice a huge mistake I had made a newmonths prior. What was the mistake you might ask??? Well… The inside of the drawers had been left unpainted!! What was I thinking?? The original makeover happened in the middle of a big move backin January. Honestly, I probably didn’t even think about it or care too much at the time. They remainedthis awful yellow color that they had originally been painted back in the 80’s. I knew I didn’t want topaint them the same color as the dresser, so I began brainstorming!

After much thought, I ended up choosing a subtle gold metallic color. I first tried using a gold craftpaint but quickly realized that wasn’t going to work. The craft paint wouldn’t soak into the woodand just looked really odd and spotty. I made a quick trip to my local craft store and bought someantique gold metallic spray paint. I then taped off the areas I did not want painted, and began spraying.The process took no time at all! The spray paint dried super quick and I was able to place the drawersback in place about 15 minutes after they were sprayed. I guess metallic colors dry much faster thannormal spray paint?? Either way, I was so happy with the end result! I can now say this makeover isfinally complete:)

I love the way the gold picks up the brassy tones in the knobs. I didn’t notice it as much before,but now I think it really pops!

If you like this gold makeover, I will be starting a weekly ::GOLD:: series over the next few weeks!I have so many fun gold DIY projects to post about and would love for you all to stop by.

I think this will be happening every Tuesday but that is to be determined. I also host a weekly linky

party called Work it Wednesday – link up your fun posts and you just might be featured!

I'm surprised at myself but really love the gold on drawers and gray on body of chest. Very good combo. I usually prefer silver but the gold is very appropriate with the gray and love the knobs with the gold. Very catchy looking and pretty. I like something different also, good job, great posts. Happy summerWill look forward to your gold series.
